About Neura

Founded in 2013, Neura operated as a behavioral intelligence platform, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze user data from mobile devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). The company was established by Gilad Meiri, Ori Shaashua, and Triinu Magi. Neura's technology was designed to provide businesses with actionable insights into consumer behavior, enabling them to deliver personalized and contextually relevant user experiences. The platform collected and interpreted sensor data from smartphones and other connected devices to understand user activities, habits, and predict future actions.

Read full description

The core of Neura's business was its software development kit (SDK) that could be integrated into existing iOS and Android applications. This allowed clients, particularly in sectors like mobile health and retail, to enhance user engagement by interacting with their customers at the most opportune moments. For example, a smart home device integrated with Neura's AI could learn a family's routine to automate home security settings. The company generated revenue by providing these tailored insights and engagement tools to other businesses, functioning on a B2B model.

Over its operational history, Neura secured approximately $34 million in funding through several rounds from investors including Pitango, Qurate Retail Group, and AXA Venture Partners. A significant milestone in the company's journey was its acquisition by Otonomo, a vehicle data platform, in October 2021 for a reported $50 million. This acquisition aimed to merge Neura's expertise in behavioral analytics with Otonomo's extensive vehicle data to create a more holistic mobility intelligence platform. Following the acquisition, Neura's CEO, Amit Hammer, transitioned to the role of EVP of Operations at Otonomo.
